SEVEN-LAYER DIP



Seven-Layer Dip image

For this recipe, the traditional 7-layer dip has been revisited so that each layer is good enough to eat on its own, but isn't so much effort that the whole thing can't be finished in 20 minutes. The order of the layers offers some delightful moments, like where the cheese melts into the warm refried beans or where the cool sour cream meets the fiery salsa. Cilantro and scallions serve as a refreshing counterpoint, and Fritos lend added crunch. No need to dig out your trifle bowl: A platter with a lip is preferred here for easier scooping.

3/4 cup sour cream

1/2 cup Fritos or corn nuts, crumbled
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions (about 2 scallions)
1/4 cup tightly packed cilantro leaves
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

SUPER EASY LAYERED CRAB DIP



Super Easy Layered Crab Dip image

This has been a family favorite for years. It's super easy to make & I usually have all of the ingredients on hand. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Make sure your crab meat is very well drained or you will have a soggy dip.

Provided by QueenBee49444

Categories     Crab

Time 10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (8 ounce) packages reduced-fat cream cheese (softened)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
6 ounces Heinz Chili Sauce (about 1/2 jar)
1 (6 ounce) can crabmeat (very well drained)
parsley
cracker

Steps:

  • Mix softened cream cheese with Worcestershire Sauce & mayonnaise (or Miracle Whip) until smooth. Feel free to add more or less Worcestershire sauce for your personal taste.
  • Spread the mixture on a plate, I usually use a plate the size of a dinner dish.
  • Gently spread the chili sauce over the top of the cream cheese mixture. (Like spreading pizza sauce over the crust).
  • Sprinkle the well drained crab meat over the top of chili sauce.
  • Finally, sprinkle the parsley over the top.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Serve with crackers.

Tips:

  • For the best results, choose high-quality, fresh seafood. Look for shrimp, crab, and tuna that are firm and have a mild, briny smell.
  • If you're using frozen seafood, thaw it completely before using. To thaw seafood quickly, place it in a colander in the sink and run cold water over it until it's thawed.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the seafood and vegetables by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely so that they blend well with the other ingredients.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dip. Overmixing can make the dip runny and less flavorful.
  • Serve the dip immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Seafood layer dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that's perfect for any party or gathering. With its creamy texture, tangy flavor, and colorful layers, this dip is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a crowd-pleasing appetizer, give this seafood layer dip a try.
